Player News
Victor Martinez hits his second home run
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(8:43 am ET) Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez clubbed his second home run of the season Monday against the Astros.

In the bottom of the fourth, Martinez hit the first pitch he saw from Bud Norris over the right field wall for a two-run shot. Martinez has struggled this year, hitting just .213/.273/.309 in 136 at-bats. 


Matt Carpenter reaches base three times
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(8:33 am ET) Cardinals second baseman Matt Carpenter reached base three times Monday against the Mets. 

Carpenter hit two singles and walked during the game. He scored and drove in two runs. Carpenter is hitting .294/.373/.449 in 136 at-bats this year. Jon Jay had a brief run in the leadoff spot, but the team has gone back to Carpenter recently, so he should continue to get a lot of at-bats. 


Matt Holliday hits sixth home run
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(8:25 am ET) Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday hit his sixth home run of the year Monday against the Mets.

Holliday took a Scott Atchison slider out to left field in the bottom of the seventh inning for a two-run homer. He added a single earlier in the game, and scored two total runs. He's hitting .271/.369/.450 in 129 at-bats this season.


Jean Segura swipes three bags
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(8:16 am ET) Brewers shortstop Jean Segura stole three bases Monday.

Segura singled in his first three plate appearances of the night, and swiped second after each hit. Though he was on base three times, Segura did not score any runs. He's hitting .368/.412/.588 in 136 at-bats this year. 


Norichika Aoki collects three hits
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(8:12 am ET) Brewers outfielder Norichika Aoki had three hits Monday against the Pirates. 

Aoki doubled in the first and fifth inning, and came around to score both times. He later singled in a run in the ninth inning. Aoki also reached base on an error, and managed to steal two bases, giving him six on the season. He's now hitting .299/.377/.445 in 137 at-bats.


Bryce Harper gets 11 stitches
by Adam Moore | CBSSports.com
(1:51 am ET) Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper received 11 stitches on his chin and neck but did not suffer a concussion, according to his agent Scott Boras. Harper also jammed his left shoulder when he collided face first with the scoreboard on the right field wall trying to track down a fly ball off the bat of A.J. Ellis.

Harper stayed on the ground for several minutes but was eventually able to walk off the field under his own power despite having blood running down his chin and neck.

He is scheduled to undergo X-rays but there has been no timetable announced for his return.

Josh Hamilton exits early
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com
(1:48 am ET) Angels outfielder Josh Hamilton left Monday's series opener against the Royals in the seventh inning because he was feeling lightheaded, manager Mike Scioscia told the Orange County Register. He went 2 for 3 before the early exit. 

Jordan Zimmermann racking up wins
by Adam Moore | CBSSports.com
(1:37 am ET) Nationals starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann turned in another solid performance Monday night against the Dodgers. Zimmermann, who made his eighth start, allowed just two runs on nine hits over 7 2/3 innings in a 6-2 win, including an RBI groundout off the bat of Skip Schumaker.

The only other run he surrendered came on an RBI single off the bat of Matt Kemp in the bottom of the eighth, which chased the right-hander from the game. He was pulled after throwing 101 pitches, 67 for strikes, and finished with five strikeouts and no walks.

Zimmermann (7-1), who has allowed three runs or fewer in each of his eight outings, has won his last four starts and has posted a 0.95 ERA with 24 strikeouts and five walks over that span (31 2/3 innings).

B.J. Upton doubts he'll play Tuesday
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com
(1:27 am ET) Braves outfielder B.J. Upton told MLB.com that he doubts he will play Tuesday against the Diamondbacks after leaving Monday's series opener due to a shoulder injury. He said his shoulder tightened up in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Upton went 0 for 2 with a run scored before the early exit and is batting just .151.

Josh Beckett not getting it done
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(1:27 am ET) Dodgers starter Josh Beckett couldn't even go deep enough to qualify for a win Monday at home against the Nationals. And with Jordan Zimmermann of the Nats cruising, Beckett didn't stand a chance.

Beckett took the loss to fall to 0-5, allowing four runs -- two earned -- on three hits and two walks over just three innings. He threw 68 pitches to record just nine outs and his ERA is 5.19.

Beckett has yet to win this season and he's looked like a shell of his former self. He's failed to last longer than six innings in all but one of his starts but Monday was a new low.

Beckett, who struck out five, makes his next scheduled start Sunday at Atlanta.
